I don't want this to get out of proportions and there has not been a discussion internally because no one has actually commented my answers and arguments. All I ask for is a dialogue, but it is a little bit difficult if no one answer.
There is no other places to download mods than from train-fever.net (with one or two exceptions, a russian and maybee a chinese? what I know of). I think every one knows by now that 99.99% of all mods comes from Train-Fever.net, no doubt. I always promote Train-Fever.Net as THEE mod site for TF, and even TFGM download links goes to Train-Fever.Net (except for automatic TFGM updates, that comes from my servers).
One of my suggestions was that in order to open the catalog at all, the Train-Fever.net terms and condition window is shown. That is a perfect place to show where the catalog comes from, with big letters and links. If you send me a translation of thee German text I would be happy to make this arrangement. I can even have the Train-Fever.net page open in the browser at the same time.
The catalog function is designed to be capable of handling "catalogues" from different web sites. It just happened to be that Train-Fever.Net is the only one right now because I'm having trouble to understand how to contact the russians and chinese sites. I had planned to show what site each mod comes from and I could simply add that info in the mod information right now.
To show the page in an embedded Web browser would need to be opened in a separate window because of GUI space reserved for the selected mod is to small fot hosting the web page. So in that case, the home button does exactly this, opens the mod page in a separate web browser.
To keep track of what mods has been looked at and not is possible but it would require some better mod identification system so an installed mod can be paired with the correct mod in the catalogue or in a catalogue from another site. I try to Keep TFGM as general as possible, therefore the names "Home" and "Author".
@Xanos
In the last update the queue was disabled, so only one mod at a time can be downloaded - this has repelled many users from actually updating TFGM to the latest version.
The "internal" conversation wasn't meant to display the "conversation", I posted that single post because it captured the concerns and my answer/suggestions to them. If Stepke wants to publish all of it, that is fine with me.
If I had only published excerpts, the I had probably been accused for censoring 
Gwinda, you are well known for wanting to justify his actions with a load of arguments - even when there is no discussion in the first place.
I'm not sure what you are referring to. I have always tried to have a dialogue and invited people to participate in conversations. If they chose to not take part in it, it is not much I can do, but at least I tried to start a discussion.
I'm glad that we finally started to discuss these things 
So my proposal to start with are (what I can do right now):
1. Show the Terms and Condition (you sen me an English translation) with links and/or open the Tf.net page in the browser everytime the catalog is opened. I could also place a donation button in the same dialogue.
2. Add the site origin as a link to the mod information area (in this case Train-Fever.net).
3. Rename the "Home" button to "Mod info" ??
I really would like to discuss how we can improve the Web API and I'm still willing to help you out with some PHP coding if you would like that.
I would love to put up a donation button with all mods (providing a donation link).
So what is the "Administration" saying about this so far?
For keeping track of what mods that has been visited or not we need to find a better way to identify each file. The tfnetID in each mod is not related to a single file but to the mod page itself.
